@GrahamHardy: First, nice work uploading covers. That said... for this particular one... at risk of an WP:ILIKEIT argument, I have to say that the 1st paperback edition cover is superior. It's the same artwork but actually legible. I realize that all things being equal, first edition covers are preferred, but this is a case where I'd say it's not mandatory when a slightly later cover (but still early) is substantially the same but clearer. (It'd be one thing if they had radically different styles, of course, but that's not the case here - there's the good version of the art and the horrifically, uselessly cropped version of the art, making it so that picking the later version isn't an issue.)
